自适应迁移聚类：统一框架AI 解读

We propose a general transfer learning framework for clustering given a main dataset and an auxiliary one about the same subjects. The two datasets may reflect similar but different latent grouping structures of the subjects. We propose an adaptive transfer clustering (ATC) algorithm that automatically leverages the commonality in the presence of unknown discrepancy, by optimizing an estimated bias-variance decomposition. It applies to a broad class of statistical models…

低秩混合模型中 Lloyd 算法的最优聚类AI 解读

Abstract This article investigates the computational and statistical limits in clustering matrix-valued observations. We propose a low-rank mixture model (LrMM), adapted from the classical Gaussian mixture model (GMM), to handle matrix-valued observations, assuming low-rankness for population centre matrices. A computationally efficient clustering method is designed by integrating Lloyd’s algorithm and low-rank approximation. Once well-initialized, the algorithm converges…

高维离散数据的程度异质性潜在类别分析AI 解读

The latent class model is a widely used mixture model for multivariate discrete data. Besides the existence of qualitatively heterogeneous latent classes, real data often exhibit additional quantitative heterogeneity nested within each latent class. The modern latent class analysis also faces extra challenges, including the high-dimensionality, sparsity, and heteroscedastic noise inherent in discrete data. Motivated by these phenomena, we introduce the Degree-heterogeneous…

低秩高斯混合模型的最优估计与计算极限AI 解读

Structural matrix-variate observations routinely arise in diverse fields such as multilayer network analysis and brain image clustering. While data of this type have been extensively investigated with fruitful outcomes being delivered, the fundamental questions like its statistical optimality and computational limit are largely under-explored. In this paper, we propose a low-rank Gaussian mixture model (LrMM) assuming each matrix-valued observation has a planted low-rank…
